Having problems with your Rollei Digital Cameras ?

Camera ran out of battery,whilst zoom lense out.Replaced with new batteries but now when i turn the camera on it bleeps for about 3 seconds and then goes off.I cant even get it to stay on long enough to bring zoom back.Please help as i really need to get this fixed for xmas.

Answers :

Some batteries (especially the lower mAh rechargables) don't seem to have enough power. Try putting in a couple of brand-new (non-rechargeable) Duracells, and see if that helps.

I think I'm going to explode if I hear one more "worn out battery" explanation for what seems to be a pretty common complaint. This is my 3rd camera...all ending up with the same problem. I've had the Canon Power Shot A570 for less than a year. Someone suggested changing the settings...but even with brand spanking new batteries, I can't even get it to last long enough to get into the settings. There is clearly a problem here that has NOTHING to do with the blasted batteries.

Sounds like you have a faulty board in the camera or it could be something as simple as a software upgrade, I know some of the Fuji Hine Pix had the same problem and it was the software. Take it back to the Canon. ...

Bought a digital camera two weeks ago, FE3000 Olympus. Cant take a picture without horizontal lines appearing on my LCD.only 20% of the pictures I take are without these lines. When I use the video, its is perfect. Still images however are difficult to appreciate. I bought camera for daughter because I thought it was a point and shoot camera. Even in iauto mode I seldom get a perfect shot. What is wrong???????Please help me. I am willing to pay 9.95 if you can help me fix my camera. Again its an

The lines on the pictures are most likely caused by a ccd sensor problem, its the sensor that actually takes the picture.The issue could be the lcd display failing but since the lines come to the pictures that you get from th ...

Switch glitch When i turn on my camera it goes off again within a few seconds (or maybe less). I have to turn it all the way off (slowly) and on again. Sometimes it stays on (at least long enough for a photo) and other times not. Has been getting worse so now the camera is pretty useless. I am presuming that the switch has had it (any other suggestions?) Interestingly while it was under warranty i had switch problems and it was replaced so this is the second switch on the camera. Is the switch a

I have the same camera and it does something very similar. I'm guessing it is not the switch but rather the internal battery for memory backup needs replaced. It is not a do it yourself repair nor is it cheap. One option you can try is to use the ...

Power on Hi! My name is Sam, i bought a casio Exilim Ex-Z50 3 years ago. For some reason, whenever i push the on/ off button on the camera, it makes a bip, bip sound, the screen stays black, and the zoom does not come out. The battery is fully charged because i got the measure out from my volt-meter. Can i have an advice on what's to do to get my camera fixed.

Very slow After I take a picture it takes a very long time until I can take another one. The viewfinder lamp swithces slowly from green to orange and the camera is not responding to anything until the lamp stays green. It takes even longer if i used the flash. Anyway I can fix it? I opened the camera and I noticed there is a battery (like a watch battery). Can that be replaced? Anybody knows anything about this battery? Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Hi, you have a few options. In fuji finepix model cameras they have a setting for continuous mode that may help shoot faster. when you press the menu button it should be under resolution. \015\012\015\0122nd try a higher speed memory ...

Olympus MJU 400 Digital camera keeps turning off - battery is fully charged. Camera won't even stay on long enough to take a picture.

Camera had beer spilled over it. Not much but enough to stop it working. I took it to a camera repair shop in Vitnam, The guy said he could fix it and went to work on it, when i got it back it worked perfect for a while and all of a sudden it stopped showing an image on the display. I can however look at previously taken photos. Just cant take new ones. If i take a photo and then check if an image came out (even though i couldn't see an image when i took the photo) nothing is shown. I really hat

Thanks Rick

I was shooting pictures with my camera at a concert. I used the zoom feture to zoom in, and it caused a zoom error in the camera. I turned the camera off to reboot it, but the lens stayed out. When I tried to turn the camera back on, the camera came on, but the screen went black. I tried taking the battery out, and put it back in some time later (maybe 30 min.-1 hr.). This did not fix the problem, and I don't know what else to do. How do I fix this?

Hi it sounds like the lense has got knocked whilst the camera was one and the lense out, the damage may all ready be done but what you can try is when you switch it on get the lense and try pulling it out slightly and then when the camera is switched ...

The part that controls the aperture is stuck. Basically, when I look in the lens, the black part is still closed, and at first it stayed open too long. Now it is just stuck closed. I'm now in the UK, and it of course broke 1 day after the warranty ran out, so it's a no go to get fixed under warranty apparently. Now, I took it into a repair shop, and they said they see this happen a lot with digital cameras, and the more pictures you take the quicker the part will wear out. They're going to give

I have the Nikon Coolpix L20. Every time I delete a picture from reviewing it it freezes on the screen "please wait". Ive waited as long as 5 minutes before. I have to constantly take out my batteries and put them back in in order to get the camera working again. Even if I try and delete a picture it does the same thing over and over. I put in new batteries so I know its not that. How do i fix this?

Try reformatting the memory device for the camera - there should be an option in the menus for format. This will remove all pictures and reinitialize the memory. ...

Nikkon DS1 I have to go to an event this evening, New Year's Eve, at the Rio. I haven't had my Nikkon very long and I have had nothing but trouble with it. I'm sure its not the camera, I'm sure its me not knowing how to use it properly. I did not receive a user's manual when I purchased this camera and I can't seem to get one. I have the camera set on automatic and most of the time, it does okay. However, my shutter when I hold it down seems to take a long time and then I'm getting a blurry pict

Hi Amy,If you don't know how to use the camera, then I would suggest you spend some time visiting the various photography forums, sign up to one that suits you, and ask there. You can download manuals from the Nikon web sites. ...

I bought this camera off of an realestate agent, she said it wasnt very old and that it worked great, it didnt have a memory card in it she said i would haft to get one. I have gotten 3 differnt ones and they all say it cant be read. I talked to a walmart associate and she thought I needed a 1 gb memory card for that camera so I got one off line and it still does the same thing. I put the same memory card in another camera and it works just fine. I have this nice camera and I cant even use it

Battery drainage I have had my olympus sp-550 uz for approx 18 months, and was getting around 175 shots even when using zoom a lot. I am now getting only 20 - 30 shots using new batteries and also getting total drainage over night at times when my camera is turned off. I have been using the same make and type of batteries since I bought the camera.

20 to 30 shots on "fresh" batteries! Do you use the flash on all shots. That really drains them. I would try to set the camera to "factory default settings" in case you changed something that is causing a drain. I hope you just bought some bad batter ...
